The report has reached US that an eff
fort is being made to retire Hon. John
Mercer Langston from the presidency
Of the Virgins Normal and Collegiate
Institution at Petersburg, Va, and to
supply his place with another man.
We hope neither will happen. Prof.
LIngston is sminently qualified for the
position. and during his recent visit to
the Northwest, he WAS constantly talk
ing Of the institution; and seemed to
have his whole mind conferred upon its
interests and welfare. The managers Of
'Bhe institution will do well to proceed
CAUTIOUSLY I'm this matter, Prof. Langs-
ston's place cannot easily be filed.

Tho Review club held its regular
weekly meeting on Tuesday evening.
Owing to the intense interest mani
tested generally in the election Of the
school directors, and thu announcement
of the lecture in Memorial hall BY
Henry George the club adjourned to-
meet the next Tuesday evening, when
the discussion Of the qqestion Of En-
glish Taxation il America and the North
American Review for November will
be tsken up. This club is one Of the
strongest literary Organizations in the
South west, its membership being COM
posed largely Of the most studious and
best read Of our principals and teachers.
The club deserves better mention than
it i possible for me at this writing to
make Of its merits. So / shall reserve
what else have to say for : subsequent
letter.
The election Of school directors re-
suited in an overwhelming victory Of
the citizens ticket, Anti German.
There is general rejoicing among the
victorious whose ranks were broken
only in one or two districts. Our Col
ored citizens scent to be peculiarly jubi-
liant since by their united support Of
the citizens ticket, they have reason
to believe that the now organization
will answer any reasonable petition for
better facilities for our Colored schools.
Tho Home club gives it's annual ball
on the second Tuesday Of next month.
The club is quite popular among the
elite Of our st. Louis folks. And it's an
nual ntertainments are anticipated with
great eagerness.

popular principals, has taken up his

met in mortal combat in Georgia last
week, and the "dry" adherents were
pushed to the wall. The most striking
feature of the contest was the extraord-
,'ary measures adopted by the white
prob ibitionists to win the Colored voters
to their side. Social equality was in
augurated, but tho seductive smiles Of
the fair An DO Saxon women were Of
little avail; and TO their shame, be it
said, the majority o. the Colored voters
voted the .'wetD ticket. It must have
bsen strange sight to some Of those
old hide-bound, dyed-in-th e-Wool, ex-
rebels and Negro-hate.s to see the man
treated and brother as such by the adyo-
Gates ofprohibition, both male and fe-
male. But it shows conclusively that the
most humane the fairestninded,tl the best
hearted, the most christian like Of their
people sire among the prohibition ists.
"A special telegram describes the scene
In Atlanta as follows:
AT early dawn this morning bands OF
women stationed themselves near th e
polls, at which the people were to vote.
upon tho question of the sale of liquor.
AS the first ballots began falling in the
boxes, the women began sn1ging ia
miiiar Methodist hymns. All day long
the most remarkable scenes were en-
acted. White women engaged in on
versation with Negroes, whom they has ID
never seen before, urging them to cast
their ballots against the. At one pre-
cinct was gathered a representative bevy
of women. One girl, chubby faced
blonde, blue-eyed, stood leaning against
"a door post, while with an arm
tWined around her white sisters waist
stood q colored Hebe, whose fine pro-
protions were admired by all the men
who passed. As this group of white
and black posed in sisterly embrace,
two colored dudes, hat in hand, stood
in the front yard and passing the usual
compliments of the season. just out
side the gate stood Q huge black man
with his back against the fence. In
front of him stood a white woman pat-
ting him on the breast and begging him
to vote for Jesus" An old Negro who
happened to be passing threw up his
hands as he looked upon this scene and
exclaimed, /" Bless do Lord. I se lived to

any intention, on the part Of anyone,

PEAL has no objections to political orr
CARNATIONS aud thinks they are all
right, when properly conducted, but
cannot and will not agree to have poll

any need for "A certain class OF the

in the bosoms Of other classes Of citizens

The guilty consciences of the leading
white politicians who know how shame
lessly they have treated their Colored

The Lebanon and Annandaie Farm.
erS' Club.

Reportcd for the Alexandria GAzErTE)
The regular monthly meeting Of the Lebanon
and Annandale Farmers Club was held at the
residence OF Mr.. Geo. z. Pickett last Thursday
evening, at which there was pretty full attend
ance
The question under discussion, "Wbat breed of
COWS are best suited for milk darying?" was fur
ther debated, and the conclusion arrived at was
that 10 special breed could be depended on but
the best in the herd should be chosen to breed
from, and in this way build up superior herd
Tho critical committee reported very favorably
on the management of Mr.. Pickett's farm and the
condition of crops, stock &c.
The secretary read communication from the
New York Tribune Office, requesting the views Of
the society on the protective tariff question, and
the subject being debated, the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted and the secreta-
~ directed to forward them to the Tribune office ::
1st Resolved, That this society regards pro-
tective tariff on farm products as deluslve and OF
but little benefit to the farmer, the markets of
England governing prices here, whatever the
tariff may be-.
ID Resolved, That the present high duties on
manufactured goods and other articles are re-
garded as extremely detrimental to the farmer, as
the steady decline of agricultural interests during
the time it has been in force, sufficiently proves.
Sd, Resolved That this society favors the con-
tinuauce Of the present internal revenue system,
but demands Il reduction of import duties TO ne
Cessary revenue tariff only.
Mr.. W. Il Lewis proposed that the question to
be taken up at tho next meeting be, What 7arie-
ty of grasses should be sown, and how, and when
to SOW thcm,' which was adopted.
The residence Of Mr.. Martin was selected for
the next meeting, to take place September 29th.
After having adjourned the club was entertain
ed by the Ladies Mite Society with music, hu-
morOus reading and animated conversation.
A bountiful supply of cake, ice cream and LEM
on&de was then served to the company by the
worthy host and hostess after which the compa-
ny separated, all delighted with the well spent
evening. %s+F

DAsTARDLY AFFAIR.-A shocking affair oc-
Cured at Margaretsville, on the seabosrd road,
last Wednesday Aaron Goode, a respectable col
ored man, attended service at Baptist church in
the neighborhood and while there had fight
with several mon. Goode then went home and
went to bed. Later III the night the same men
with whom Goode had the trouble at church came
to his house and spread broom straw underneath
and set fire to the straw. Goode got up and went
out to cxtinguish the burning brush, when he was
shot by the parties in ambush. The gun was
loaded with steel bits, lead slugs, bullets and
other missiles, and tore Goode to pieces nlicting
injuries from which he died, the load tearing a
hole in his body and entering the kidneys. The
building was burned to the ground.

TIE RECENT CYcLoNE.-The government tele.
graph lines between Norfolk and Cape Hatteras
have been rebuilt and communication cstab-
lished The damsgc done by the late cyclone
amounted to about ten thousand dollars, and dur
ing its prevalence the lives Of the residents Of
that section of the coast were in imminent peril.
The wind registered ninety-six miles an hour.
The ocean in that vicinity rose to an alarming
height and swept over the narrow neck of land i'll
to Pontico sound carrying every thing before it by
its almost irresistible force. Houses were swept
from their foundations, sails Of vessels were torn
into shreds, and the vessels were dismasted and
dashed upon the beach. Many families were
rendered homeless, and took to their boats as the
last recourse Sand and water were flying through
the air. and large limbs of trees were borne along
thc wings Of the gale, threatening death or de-
struc.ion TO all in their path. After the gale the
beach was lined with wreckage, showing the dam
age sustained to vessels that were off Hatteras
during the storm. Many persons were injured.
